Games!

I haven't tried them yet because Amazon hates Canadians, so it would seem.

I downloaded 2 games though I have not tried them...

Is there any way I can try to get these outside US? Mine is K2i, region is Asia & Pasific.

Will Amazon check if I have these installed?

Is it possible for someone to download them and then post them for the international users?? Like some did with the 2.5 update. That would be fantastic! (If possible)

I'm surprised that no one has opened up the games and posted some interesting data. For example, the EveryWord game has a hilarious list of 'bad words'. They should have paid homage to George Carlin's list and called it: words_you_can't_type. Luckily, "WOP" is on the list, or I'd be really offended! Just have to make sure my kids don't get their hands on the list.

Other odd 'bad' words (according to Amazon):
EXTINCTS
SUPERORGASM
QWERTY
PUSLIKE
PAPISTRIES
LIBBERS
FRIG
CRAPPER
BASTARDLY
BALLSY
JESUIT

There's also a 28,804 word dictionary, plus 14,816 common words.

There's also a nice color title screen (attached) - future proofing, perhaps? The game backgrounds are in greyscale only though.
